Testimonials

"Donald is a bright, highly-motivated and caring instructor who works hard to improve the student learning environment and goes beyond his required duties to make his classes exciting, interesting and rewarding." - Kathleen Murray

“It is with great confidence that I can introduce you to Don Hester, Information Technology Security Instructor. Don provided us with material above and beyond the surface understanding of Information Technology Security that was “jam-packed” with real-world case experience. It is obvious that he has complete command of the subject matter through hands-on experience and the communication skills to get the material across in an open and collaborative way for all of his students. Don demonstrates a true desire to communicate the importance of what you learn and what you can go back to the office worthwhile for his students and encourages them to aspire to their goals. He is not only skilled and knowledgeable, but certified and his credentials speak for themselves. I want to learn the ropes from this guy!” – Charlie Lochbaum

"I want to thank you for your dedication to teaching, and patience in having me in your class. I appreciate the commitment and instruction you have provided. I would not be where I am today, nor have the potential of tomorrow if it were not for instructors such as yourself. I really did enjoy the class I had this last spring, and I look forward to future classes." - Charlene E. Mapson VP B of A

“This is my second class with Don. Both classes were outstanding.”

“I really enjoyed the class taught by Don, he really knows his stuff and I hope to be taking his class in Active Directory when he teaches one”

“Don provided short, relevant anecdotes for nearly every topic. His candor and sense of humor provided an energy level not typically found in similar courses.”

“Great instructor who share extra "real world' knowledge base.”

“I found Don to be an excellent facilitator who kept the lessons in the modules interesting by giving examples from his personal experiences.”

“The instructor was very knowledgeable in the security field. He knows his stuff. The instructor directly solicited class participation but he did not embarrass anyone. He listened to everyone and was very courteous.”

“This training was excellent, and the instructor is outstanding, he is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of information. He has made himself available thru email after the seminar for questions.”

“For our MSIS IT Audit & Forensics course at USF, Professor Hester did an excellent job of making a very dull book relevant and interesting. He brought vast and applicable real-world experiences into the lectures. All of my instructors at USF were experts in what they taught, and he was one of the top examples of that high quality. I quickly learned that auditors don't have to be adversaries, and if anything they are there to prove my department is honest and doing things correct. The class greatly increased my knowledge and skills. It even lead to me discovering serious security issues at a building where I worked. Those issues lead to updates being made to the facility, as well as other sites being evaluated for the same weakness. When I have need for an IT Auditor, Don Hester will be first on the "hire" list.” Eric Burns

(Note: Effective May 21, 2010, (ISC)² changed the name of its Certification and Accreditation Professional credential to the ‘Certified Authorization Professional’, maintaining the acronym (CAP), to reflect updated nomenclature contained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s SP800-37 publication. Those CAPs who earned their certification before May 21, 2010 will receive new paper certificates and lapel pins that reflect the new name. In addition to the CAP name change, effective November 2010, (ISC)² will also change the four CAP domains into seven to align with the new NIST approach.
